Frozen Lake
03:51

3AM at the condemned cafe
Filling out the empty chairs with people I pushed away
Thumbing through the failures of my life
I don't want to be the one who tries but never gets it right
Even when the stars align
I disconnect them every time
I could have the wind at my back
And find a way to catch the slack
I arm the alarm in the attic
The place I put my misery
I need protection from myself
Not anybody else
Won't you please handcuff me?
My karmic card's been canceled
I've taken out too much luck without enough good deeds
And you don't have to leave a light on
I'm just gonna stay right here
Let despair sing to me
Even when the stars align
I disconnect them every time
I could have the wind at my back
And find a way to catch the slack
I can hardly see your face
From underneath the frozen lake
Funny it's a sunny day
Still the ice won't melt away
When I'm out to sea are you on the coast?
Or when you think of me do you think of a ghost?
There are no deadlines, no headlines in heaven
We're all blissed out in boredom

Evil Twin
03:09
|

You know it’s awful when
You wish you had an evil twin
To take the fall for all your sins
You’d never speak of them again
I’m gonna lock my fears away
I’m gonna ask hope on a date
Tie her up in chains and throw her in the lake
You know my baby’s blue
Cause she no longer reads the news
She just lays all day in bed
Debating demons in her head
I’m gonna cast my doubts aside
I’m gonna take faith for my bride
Hit her with a shovel and bury her alive
Bury her alive
When my heart begins to swell
That’s how I know to run like…
Run like hell
(better run, better run)
(better run, better run)
I’d better run
(better run, better run)
I’d better run
(better run)
Better run, better run

Every Little Thing
04:44

Every little thing
Seems to bring me down
I’m just looking for
A little more
Than what’s around
It’s awful and it’s true
You can do what you wanna do
I look underneath
Every fallen leaf
For a landmine
I lose my beliefs
Like I lose my sleep
All the time
All my starlit strategies
Blow away with the morning breeze
I’m at a loss for words
Every syllable is coming out absurd
I guess it’s normal to feel
Everything is unreal
Well lucky me I’ve got tied tongue
No need to talk to anyone
On a holiday from the human race
Request amnesty for feeling strange
I need to hear somebody say
Something I can relate to
I’m at a loss for words
Every syllable is coming out absurd
I guess it’s normal to feel
Everything is unreal
I’m at a loss for words
Every syllable is coming out absurd
I guess it’s normal to feel
Everything is unreal
Everything is unreal
Everything is unreal
Everything is unreal

Reality Bureau
03:19
|
|||
I never thought
I’d be here
Dancing with you
So near
Oh I don’t mind
If we are on drugs
It doesn’t mean it’s not love
I built my house
On a bridge
Over where the fault line lives
Earthquake
The wall starts to shake
Creak, crack, and break
Your life (your life)
Has been adjusted
By the bureau of reality
For any (any little)
Inconvenience
We are so so sincerely sorry
Drunk dial myself
In the future
1-800-BLK-HOLE
For the time warp operator
As it rings
What will I say?
Will I be happy someday?
Talk me down
Tell me that I’m wrong
Help me to figure it out
I want to carry on
Now
I just don’t know how
Your life
Has been adjusted
By the bureau of reality
For any little
Inconvenience
We are so sincerely sorry
It’s just the way it goes

Yolk of Love
02:38
|
|||
Just because it’s held together by glue
It doesn’t mean it’ll do
So make the room just how you want it to be
It doesn’t matter to me
The yolk of love is running
The yolk of love is running
The yolk of love is running through my hands
Even if I’m coming on too strong
It doesn’t make me wrong
And even if the crowd still cheers us on
It doesn’t mean we’ve won
The yolk of love is running
The yolk of love is running
The yolk of love is running through my hands
I don’t think I’ll ever understand
Just because it’s held together by glue
It doesn’t mean it’ll do
So make the room just how you want it to be
It doesn’t matter to me
The yolk of love is running
The yolk of love keeps running
The yolk of love is running through my hands
I don’t think you’ll ever understand

Crown
03:46
|
|||
So low my head
So heavy this crown
I cannot be your prince now
I am rescinding my right to the throne
So call off the band
Stop the parade
I do not care what's at stake
Just let me be free
You know I never asked to be king
Tell me now what have I unleashed?
There are no reins on the beast
A hungry and wild thing
Embrace famine, forfeit the feast
Walk until I can hardly speak
I've got to lead my own life
Doesn't matter how high the price
(Never gonna come down from here
Never gonna look back in fear
Never gonna change my mind
Look at all of my time)
Nervous tick talk fast
Where is my last laugh?
Broken words escape my breath
As I erase my every step
What have I done?
Killed my kingdom
Left it to burn
Never to return
I had to live like I was lost
It never really mattered what it cost

Deal of the Century
03:05
|
|||
Don’t laugh
I want you to come over
I want you to leave just when you arrive
It’s not a contradiction, no
It makes sense in my mind
You gotta give me something
Something to hang my ego on
It can’t just lay here to decay here
A fish in a dry pond
How can I get stronger?
I’m weightless, I’m a kite
Tethered to some stranger
How’ll I ever reach the
Somehow
I must of left the door open
It must of been bangin’ in the breeze
It must of been easy for you
To rearrange everything
What happened to my records?
And why are my opinions in the yard?
If you don’t like them you could ignore them like you did before
How can I get stronger?
I’m weightless, I’m a kite
Tethered to some stranger
I’ll never reach the
You gotta gimme something
You gotta gimme something, uh-huh
For sale by owner
Unused future hopes and dreams
It’s a two for one special
It’s the deal of the century
It’s a two for one special
It’s the deal of the century
(deal of the century)
Deal of the century
(deal of the century)
Deal of the century

Some people get in trouble
For living in a bubble
But tell me what is worse?
I don’t even got a bubble to burst
I’m getting further from the fairytale
So forget the Bahamas
Forget Bermuda too
When they say life’s a beach
I picture Normandy
Yeah I’m
I’m getting further from the fairytale
I’m still trying to see
A spirit in the machine
That there’s more to me
Than bolts and circuitry
One day we’ll find out for sure
I’m shaking in my boots don’t tell me you’re not scared anymore
To the soldiers of fortune
I wish somebody could’ve warned them
It’s something I know well
The road to paradise is paved through hell
And I’m
I’m getting further from the fairytale
I’m still trying to see
A spirit in the machine
That there’s more to me
Than bolts and circuitry
One day we’ll find out for sure
I’m still shaking in my boots don’t tell me you’re not scared anymore
Shadows in the water deep
Bayonets and rosaries
There’s terror in the tenderness
Of water rushing through my fingertips

Weeds
04:15
|
|||
Everybody’s got
Skeletons
I can’t recall what I lost
My head spins
No vacancy
No shelter to seek
I’m still here
In the weeds
Are you as confused as me?
There is something that
You should know
I’ve made good friends
With the unknown
In a matchstick urn
A tiger’s tail, a two headed bird
And a list of grievances
I’m gonna burn
There’s no way to tell you tell you
How it’ll turn
Everybody’s got
Skeletons
Oh I can’t recall what I lost
My head spins
No vacancy
No shelter to seek
I’m still here
In the weeds
Are you as confused as me?
Are you as confused as me?
